One serious scenario has China operating a high intensity cyber and Intelligence war to disrupt and subvert command and control and communications; bombardment by missile of military installations, airborne assault troops to take control of air bases and communication centers. In the accompanying confusion, previously inserted sleeper agents carry out terror and sabotage missions against the civil government. Missiles and ships off shore bombarding coastal defense installations.

The Chinese study history, like any other competent military. They know our D-Day invasion survived only because of surprise, made possible because the Germans had only rudimentary radar and didn’t see a thousand ships crossing the channel until they saw them with their own eyes. And they are not stupid enough to think they can pull off a D-Day style invasion in a high intensity intel environment, where every raft and rowboat will be seen a hundred miles away.

Airborne assault troops?

They require air supremacy for that.

Something they’ll not have.
